BlockDude

[h1] Game Summary: [/h1] What the description of this game fails to explain clearly is that this is a remake of a game from around 2004 by the same name, that was available on certain scientific calculators. I found that out when looking for a walkthrough on some of the stages. It seems rather shameless for this not to be mentioned at all on the store page, with the original 11 levels simply called Classic, without explanation. Guess that's what makes this a "retro" game though. What really irritates me about all of this is how the short video only shows a small amount of content, and I thought the mechanics of the game were going to be much better than they actually turned out to be. I definitely think they showed as little as possible for a reason. [h1] Pros: [/h1] • If you liked the calculator game by the same name from years yonder, this is your chance to play it all over again. It has a few more stages than the original, for a total of 31 stages! [h1] Cons: [/h1] • I really dislike how the game handles. If the character moves up or down a level, he's able to turn right around and place a block without moving. However, if moving left and right without moving up…

1/10 Original idea, where??? 1 more game to hide in my library

Nice retro, but wait for a sale. One buck today are too much for this kind of games.

After ten years, I was finally able to revisit and beat the BlockDude level (Level 9) that defeated me as a 17-year-old.

Blockdude was a game for TI-86 calculator, apparently. It's a kind of Sokoban puzzle, but flat. If you utterly want to play it (for some reason), there is a better remake on itchio for free. Goes by the same name.

This game is utterly painful, along the lines of stabbing your eyes repeatedly with forks. Maybe I've watched too many Zero Punctuations, maybe I'm just cynical, but in my opinion, this game is terrible. The only reason I have even THIS much time on this garbage is because I was mashing the "pick up" and "walk" buttons to try to see how impossible the achievements are to get. In the 40ish minutes I played, I completed around half the game. There is no way to turn around without walking 6 steps, unless the game decides that the barrel you have you back to is appealing, you can't do any jumping, if you drop a single barrel in the wrong spot just restart, and so many more things I'd need a 5 minute youtube video just to harp on this. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS! PERIOD! This coming from a guy who got it for free. Imagine how I'd feel if I payed for it. This game is worse than No Man's Sky was at release, played on a hunk of cheese that has sat in your gym bag for a few decades, all while your dog is humping it's own vomit on the back of your head. No, I'm not sorry for that analogy.
